Reality is just your perception

What does 2018 Hold. Do you want to change your behaviour? Reality for each of us is different. What will be your reality for 2018?

Dreading Christmas? Volunteer to help others?

Not all of us look forward to it.

I’m one of them.  I’m dreading Christmas day, yet I’m no Scrooge.   For many,  Christmas can serve to underline loneliness and loss.

This Christmas I may actually be celebrating the day alone.  And celebrate…

Can your mind heal you

I Injured my knee but regained nearly full movement

I think it can,  but what do you think?

Step change?

If we are talking about someone’s essential character then some people are divided as to whether this can be achieved.  But that debate is similar to the fixed mindset vs growth mindset.  Growth mindset is the way the human mind and brain really works – adaptable, changeable, plastic.   Step change is very much achievable if you believe it is.

Brainstorming and Hypnotherapy

Can you imagine yourself being more creative?

Limiting Beliefs

I am continually pleasantly surprised with the way people’s behaviour and beliefs can be modified and transformed after hypnotherapy.  Sometimes this happens in as little as one session.  It is often as simple as changing perspective or removing a block.   Below is an article on ways to brainstorm ideas.

by Portia Nelson

“I walk down the street. There is a deep hole in the sidewalk. I fall in. I am lost… I am helpless. It isn’t my fault. It takes forever to find a way out.

Choose Happiness

Is happiness a choice?

Is happiness a choice?

Can you choose to be happy whatever happens to you?

Things happen to us yet with each thing that happens we can, for the most part, decide or choose how to react.   A great deal of us can also choose how to live our lives.  So assuming that you are not trapped in a truly dire situation (And even that is subjective) then your attitude to life will tend…

Dark Chocolate is high in procyanidins, which help to lower blood pressure. Flavonoids which reduce aging,…
